“After posting a few images yesterday that claimed to show cases for the upcoming 10.5-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro, Benjamin Geskin has now shared a few CAD images, dummy models, and renderings of the 10.5-inch iPad model,” Mitchel Broussard reports for MacRumors.
“The new iPad images align with all of the port cutouts seen in yesterday’s wooden accessory case, including a device that has four speakers, a Lightning port, camera with vertically-aligned flash, side volume rockers, and a Smart Connector,” Broussard reports.
“In a series of images shared with iDropNews, Geskin designed a rendering based on the recent rumors to show how the bezels on the new 10.5-inch iPad Pro might look,” Broussard reports. “Since the device will keep roughly the same footprint of the 9.7-inch iPad, the rendering boasts a device with small 7mm bezels on the left and right sides of the device and around 19mm bezels on the top and bottom.”

MacDailyNews Take: That 10.5-inch iPad Pro, in much the same size and weight as the 9.7-inch iPad, is going to fly off the shelves!
Now, just imagine if it ran MacOS as well…….
Well, if it ran MacOS as is then it would be a right pain in the behind since MacOS isn’t currently suited to direct touch usage at all.
Says a user who has never used anything other than Mac.
Hmmm, looking at what Microsoft has actually accomplished with Windows on ARM… It’s an interesting idea but Apple has indicated time and again that they want to keep them separate
Bleh, I like the 12.9″ and can’t go back, ever, to the smaller screen. I may as well just be working from my iPhone at that point.
I thought the button was likely integrated – according to multiple rumors – into the screen.
Can’t believe everything you read or hear. Stay tuned.
Totally agree with you, Kate. The 12.9 is perfect in size, and ability. Since I got mine I haven’t once had a moment of regret.
